Consultation & Treatments

How does the basti work?

Sushruta has scientifically and beautifully described the mode of action of basti where he has given his importance to the active principle of the herbs administered.
The active priciple of the basti spreads from the colon all over the body in the same manner as the water poured at roots of a tree reaches up to the leaves.

Just as a tree irrigated with water at the root produces blue leaves, become beautiful with tender leaves, and during the course of time grows to produce flowers and fruits, similarly a person becomes young and beautiful by the administration of Anuvasana.Charaka Si 1:29

Enema though situated in the large intestine draws out impurity from head to the feet by its power just as the sun takes away sap of the earth even staying in the sky.Sushruta Chi 35:27
